One of the best sounding rooms and proves you don't have to fork over a king's ransom for spectacular sound. I really enjoyed the gear and the speakers.
I second Nick's feelings. I was mighty impressed by this room. There was nothing in the way of the music. So transparent! I've had old Quads and the new 2905's and these are in another league with regards to transparency and dynamics. I kept going back to make sure I was right, but more so to get another taste of some great sound.
Great thing about building products in a country with no labor, environmental or similar restrictions is that you can offer products for half the cost of a similar product built in the EU, the US or Canada. Also, no need to honor patents or license agreements.Rock on.
Referring to Bob D,Criticizing Chinese gears sounds like double standard to me:Nobody forced the US to move 99% of their goods' production to China or to send them, like Canada, containers of waste (no environmental regard, right?). One cannot eat his cake and have it too.What patent did King Sound Breach?What other panel is using a line array of small panel surfaces coated with Nanotechnology-applied sounding membrane?You sound like a disgruntled competitor. Last time you referred to Prince II in CES you wrote:"Posted Mon Feb 8,2010, 7:57 PM — By Bob D. StuckiezCrappy Chinese product made by slave labor. Good luck getting these repaired in 5 years."Seems like a trend don't you think?Usually people who write things like that sound like they feel that they have something to lose.
